cmderinchief’s had a busy Saturday today… we all know that when he’s not lurking around the Coil Club, he’s wheeling and dealing for early samples and dazzling us with pictures of stuff that won’t hit retail for months. He comes through again today with a couple pretty neat pieces (depending on your frame of mind).
First of all, what has turned out to be a very controversial item, he’s posted some very nice images of the upcoming Crimson Strike re-do Tomax over at JoeBattleLines. While the figure looks really nice and compliments the sculpting well, it has caused some fandom rage due to it being used in a Convention Exclusive at a premium price. I’ll try to avoid getting into that bruhaha here (everyone knows my stance on that by now), but here are the images:

He has also posted a nice assortment of images for the upcoming “Reactive Armor” version of Scarlett from The Rise of COBRA. I can’t really explain it, but this figure rocks my world. The sculpting and detail paint apps are really nice…the head sculpt looks great (at least on this version of the figure) and I really love the backpack-mounted grapple system and the crossbow that comes apart and stores in the holster. Some very nice pics of what looks like a really nice figure. Kudos, Gary, keep ’em coming! 😉

We’ve already seen some very nice loose pictures of the upcoming SDCC exclusive Destro in his 3-piece suit, but what about the infamous McCullen ancestor that comes in the two-pack with him? Well, they’re uncolored test shots, but Black Sheep Toy Store has posted an auction here with his normal collection of nice images. Check out those images below!

The Black Sheep Toy Store strikes again, this time with a nice batch of somewhat vintage-themed figures that look to be done up in movie style paint schemes. Very interesting looking figures, for sure. Click the following links to check out the auctions, and then peruse all of the images mirrored below.
There are some part swaps and paint alterations, but some interesting stuff to see, for sure. I love the Grand Slam with the different lower legs, and the AVAC with the Resolute Trooper arms. Some neat stuff mixed up here…
